SYNOPSYS
"use Text::German;"
"$stem = Text::German::reduce($word)"
DESCRIPTION
This is a rather incomplete implementaion of work done by Gudrun Putze-
Meier. I have to confess that I never read her original paper. So all
credit belongs to her, all bugs are mine. I tried to get some insight
from an implementation of two students of mine. They remain anonymous
because their work was the wost piece of code I ever saw. My code
behaves mostly as their implementation did except it is about 75 times
faster.
